Making it all the way to the NCAA finals doesn't just offer glory, and stress, for the coaches. It also means lots of television time. And, for us, an opportunity to take a hard look at Bill Self of the Kansas Jayhawks (left) and Kentucky's John Calpari (right) as to determine who looks best in a sideline suit while screaming his face off.

First things first: Both of these men would look better in pants that didn't billow out like some da Vinci flying contraption attached to their ankles. But like the franchise that he runs — an NBA farm, training players to earn those bucks with swagger — Calipari's look suggests he's the more fancy of the two coaches, with a closet full of Armani suits alongside other pieces of Italian tailoring. He slicks back his hair. He wears boardroom ties. On his feet, of course, are Gucci loafers, with their horsebits ablaze for the cameras.

Self is a bit more Midwestern populist, following the dress code but doing so with fewer labels on display. He's got no signature, which really just means that he experiments with different colors (not just navy suits), different proportions (sometimes sport coats, rather than full suits) with fits that vary and may include a three-button jacket, a pair of pleated pants, some cuffs at the ankles, or other small flourishes — though, never, it seems, a pocket square (next season?). In a sea full of middle-aged men wearing variations on the same thing (team-colored ties, for instance) this guy from Kansas always has his lapels right. And, whether he knows they're currently trendy or (probably) not, Self prefers nicely-shined black monkstraps too.

All told, he is following his own rules while still fitting in on the sidelines, towing the line in a way that suggests he's got personal style. So, even if his team ends up losing tonight, we're betting his side of the court will win the style face-off, crazy screaming faces and all. As they say: Rock Chalk Jayhawk.
